Panzerfaust Records
Panzerfaust Records was an American record label for right-wing extremist music based in Minnesota .
The company existed from 1998 to 2005. Panzerfaust Records was the first port of call for US and international neo-Nazi bands . It enabled many young bands to enter the international white power movement through record contracts or invitations to concerts. The record company worked closely with the Hammerskins , the right-wing extremist skinhead organization Popular Front and White Revolution , but also maintained contacts with other neo-Nazi groups in the USA and Europe.
In addition to sound carriers, the label sold all kinds of Nazi items, including flags, books and uniforms. In 2004, the label released a free CD under the title Project Schoolyard , which was to be distributed free of charge to US schools based on the example of the German Projekt Schulhof CD . Before it could come to distribution, however, Panzerfaust Records was closed. In 2005, it was revealed that its founder, Anthony Pierpont, has a Mexican mother and that he bragged in an email that he had sex with East Asian prostitutes . All long-term partners then withdrew their support. His longtime partner Bryant Cecchini (also known by the pen name Byron Calvert) took control of the website and redirected it to Free Your Mind Productions , which carried on the business of Panzerfaust Records for several years.
